When compiling puppet manifests it is often frustrating to find subtle variable parsing or ordering problems. Introspecting specific resource parameters at a given point is also difficult. This function makes those two tasks easier by using [pry] Simply gem install pry and call pry() at some point during a catalog compile by adding it to the specific line in a manifest where you would like to inspect the compilation state, and run the process doing the compilation in the foreground. Puppet will drop into a debugging shell in the Puppet::Parser::Scope object at the time of the function call. A few helpful tips will be printed when the shell is first entered. When used in manifests during [rspec-puppet] compilation, the pry REPL will appear in the shell running the spec tests. When used with a puppet master, the master process must be run in the forground with puppet master --no-daemonize --verbose to view the debug shell. If a daemonized master process enters the debug shell, kill must be used to exit the debug shell. Please see the documentation on [Puppet::Parser::Scope] and [Puppet::Resource::Catalog] for relevant method calls.
